Principal's Report 

Every Day Counts!!

 

The building blocks of a great education begin with all students coming to school each and every day.

There are approximately 10 weeks in each term. If your child misses 1 day a week for a year they miss close to a quarter of the school year. If we look at this over their primary school life Foundation to Grade 6 they will miss more than 1 whole school year.

If they miss one day a fortnight they will miss four full weeks by the end of the year. By Year 10 they’ll have missed more than a year of school.

Regular school attendance is vital and missing school days can have a big impact on a child’s future.

Missing school not only impacts on academic success but also social and emotional health.

Please do not hesitate to contact Simone or your class teacher if you have any concerns about your childs’ attendance.
